Natural, Healthy Beauty?
Hello~
What happened to natural, healthy beauty? Why is almost everyone wearing tons of makeup to have to feel pretty? I’m 12 and just wear chapstick, lol, sometimes just burt’s bees color lip balm thing. I’ve never really liked girls who coated themselves with makeup. And thats what all the media advertises these days. So, its hard to find advice in finding healthy, natural looking beautiful advice. Could someone give me some advice about how to look naturally pretty? Thanks. Basically, any type of advice works, but I do have preference. For example, I have OK lips, but I want them to be or look fuller, is there any way tot do that? I have full but short eyelashes, is there any way I could have full AND long lashes? I have acne, and I am using AcneFree right now, I steam my face(?) once a week, do a mud mask, mosturize, basically the normal stuff. Any other advice, besides drink water, I’m already working on that. Could you give me a recipe of how to make a body scrub thats really good for my skin and make it glow. Should I use the scrub before I shave or after? If you don’t have a recipe, could you give a brand name and where I could buy it? Sorry if I’m asking so many question, don’t have an older girl sibling and my mom is absolutly clueless in this kind of stuff because she is like born like a run way model. Many people say my mom and I look exactly alike, but what else can they say? Because if they say we don’t, some people get offended. I want to grow to 5’5 but I am 5’0 right now. Any advice on how to grow taller? I am 12. Does milk make you grow taller?
Thank you all for taking the time to read and answer my question…s..
Love you all~

How to Make Gingerbread Body Scrub IngredientsGinger spice (a few pinches)
Vanilla extract (a few drops)
Cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice (tsp each.)
Almond oil (as the moisturizer) – other oils are also suitable, e.g. jojoba oil, apricot kernel oil, safflower oil, olive oil or grapeseed oil3/4 cup
brown sugar (yummy, gentle & nice fragrance) or salt (as the exfoliant) 3/4 cup
Honey – See above
Beeswax – Adds constitution to the mix and allows for some interesting fragrances
StepsPour your dry ingredients into a bowl. Add the oil and mix until you have a slushy mixture. (Use a wooden spoon to mix if possible to prevent any possible fragrance reactions with a metal spoon.)
Add to your small container.
Let it firm a bit overnight. Leave in the refrigerator if you like but make sure you put the lid on to prevent fridge smells from contaminating it.
Decorate your container if desired to make it look like one of your make-up products.
Massage into your skin and leave on for 5 to 10 minutes. Rinse off and your skin should be left feeling silky and soft.
How to grow taller? Basically just exercise more milk doesn’t make you grow that’s just a tale of advertisements. It makes you brittle when you grow older most elderly people have this sort of problem because they have been told to drink milk all the time.
You’re really mature for a 12 year old. Don’t feel pressured to wear makeup. I’m 15 and only wear lipgloss and mascara. I have a little acne (especially once a month, if you get what I mean
) but foundation makes it worse, so I don’t wear any.
- For your lips, a neutral coloured lipgloss is enough.
- For your lashes, try mascara. I think your a little young for black mascara, but it’s your choice. I think clear mascara would be good for you.
- For your skin, it sounds like you have it under control. Try not to worry about acne, it’s just from hormones/puberty/being a teenager. Most likely it’ll clear up by itself when you finish puberty. Keeping your face clean is important though, even if face-washes don’t get rid of your acne. Try to stay away from products like Clearasil and Clean and Clear. They are pretty harsh and full of chemicals. Try going to a chemist or dermatologist to get some recommendations.
- A moisteriser/cream is enough to make your legs look good. Soaps don’t really make much of a difference. I use cocoa butter, because it tones your skin and prevents stretch marks. You can get tinted moisterisers as well, that build up slowly to a natural tan, if you want that.
-As for height, it’s all genetics. I’m only 5’3" anyways.
That was long, sorry.
Hope this helped though (:
I also have acne and this is what works for me: Solutions Total Radiance am/pm cleanser. I wash my face twice a day. I put a little bit of cleanser in my hand add some water to create a foam then rub it on my face and rub it in with a wet washcloth in circular motions. Then I use the Clearskin Purifying Astringent and finally I use the Solutions Total Radiance Day Cream/Night Cream. Only exfoliate and use a mask once a week.
Hey!
I’m a guy, so no expert on cosmetics, but I wanted to answer your height question.
I did a study on height and most girls grow several inches around the age of 12/13. You will probably end up about the same height as your mom. The most important things are to eat healthy food- a mixture of fruit and veg, carbohydrates and meat (or substitute), and to get plenty of sleep each night. This helps your body to grow, but your height is something that you cannot really change.
If your height is a problem for you I have loads of advice on how to make yourself look taller than you really are. You can mail me through my profile to talk more if you want.
